It's the kind of sport which [teaches] you to have respect for everything and everybody, when I started judo I changed completely. As a kid I was so quiet and was even afraid to maybe go out in the street. Then I started to do judo and I have a stronger character, I have a stronger personality and as I said before growing up with judo you learn to have respect for everything and everybody. You have good coordination with your body, with your mind. So, if you don't become a champion, at least you do become a great, great person.feedback

I've made mistakes. There's no question, I think we all do. Some of them I've tried to own very publicly. And in some cases there were things that I did, until someone brought it up, I said, Gosh, I didn't realize that that was a mistake. I'm sorry about that.
